Tons of votes, millions of phone calls and text messages.
Four young kids, in their teens and twenties.
What an amazing thing, huh?
Lay bets on who goes home?
I'm not sure, yet.
My intuition tells me it's Allison.
The raggy ending to his song last night tells me it might be Danny.
But, first, Miss Paula is laying out her new single!
Very cool.
I like listening to her, a good voice and a cool persona when she performs.
Great dancer, uber-cool moves...I wish I could move like that!
Love the song!
Gwen Stefani and her band hit it!
Nice one, "I'm Just a Girl."
What a girl! Tough, gutsy and fit!
Back on tour, new album coming from the tour.
She's one of my favorite new-line performers, hands down.
Results...
Kris is safe, looks stunned.
I think he thought he was going home.
Gotta say I also thought that last night, but after pondering it a little today, I did see him staying and Allison going home.
Chris Daughtry is back...I was so disappointed when he was dumped way too soon that season.
I'm so happy for him that he hit the big time and has some really credible hits to his name.
Proves that you don't have to be the Americal Idol to have a great career!
With a new album to debut here on the Idol stage, Chris really is the bomb, as Randy says.
Next person safe is Adam.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I believed he'd make it, but a little niggly voice kept whispering...
There are no words.
And, now Danny?
Hopefully...hopefully.
Yes!
He's safe!
That rocks, simply rocks!
And, so it's Allison who is going home.
Good choice. I think she has some growing up to do...more maturing, you know.
She really does have a stellar voice.
At this age, she sings with such maturity.
What will she do with a few more years under her belt? I can hardly wait!
This will be a superb finale, I think!

Just admit it! Why not?"

Hi Brenda, great recap! Of course I was very disappointed that Alison was eliminated but as you said and as Chris D. has done (having been eliminated in the same 4th spot), you really don't have to win Idol to achieve big success! I'm pulling for Alison to make it big too! :)
I can't wait to see next week and who moves on to top two. I think it is anyone's competition to win! But Adam is still my fav! :)
Thanks for your great recap! Have a great day!

I knew it had to be/should be either Kris or Allison, and I am a bit sorry that it was Allison. This is going to be interesting, given the strengths remaining - I do wonder how the judges would have voted, if it were not America voting.

I am going to miss Alison. I really wanted to see her and Adam in the finals.
I always wonder if winning is 'All That'. The winner is really tied to the idol~ and they don't seem to do all that well. Maybe Adam needs to bail now!
